What inspired her mind was the signal. It inspired her to learn more about the universe, to turn outward. She spent her childhood growing in her faith; she would spent her adulthood growing in her knowledge. To an extent, she oriented herself and her adult life, conciously, around the inevitable consequences of the signal, learning not only about the workings of the alien technology behind it, but the firm basics of science as understood currently, so that she might be able to discern with a comprehending eye the principles behind their workings. Or attempt to.

Even joining the Alliance was a part of this end; towards gaining a favorable scientific spot on the ship that would inevitably be sent out. How she reconciled this with her deep religious principles, her official record does not say. As her adult life was centered around it, and it was an undesireable post, her inclusion on the mission was not difficult for her to acheive. She wanted nothing else more, and has no permanent attachements to the world she is leaving behind.

Born in a refugee camp mostly catering to refugees originating from India, Pramiti's birth name was 'Udita', which means 'one whom has risen' - chosen on the advice of an astrologer, by her parents. Her official name, chosen by them later, is Pramiti. Her parents had lost everything in the disasters and the war, left with only their faith. They were poor to begin with however, and survived the refugee camps to become small business owners.

Growing up the greatest influences on Pramiti were her parent's religious principles, the writings of Gandhi, and the arrival of the Signal. She was always a devout girl, a Hindu Universalist, inspired by the words of the Mahatma as much as by the Gita. Gandhi taught many things, among them vegetarianism, simple living, and respect for all religions and peoples. And she takes these concepts seriously - she always has.
